BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Generally, when people are swimming there is a tendency for theirswimming trunks, swimsuit or bathing suit to become soaked with water sothat they expose their genitalia to children and other people which canbe embarrassing to the person wearing the swimming trunks as well as tothe other people. For example, when the person's swimming trunks getswet the material of the swimming trunk often sticks to the male bodyports, such as the legs and their genitalia. When the swimming trunkgets wet it doesn't leave much to the imagination of the male's privatearea and the female's private area. Also, children and people do notwant to be exposed to the person's genitalia when they are swimming.Oftentimes when men wear swimming trunks their private male area isexposed, not in the flesh but in the detailed outline. In addition, whenwomen are wearing swimsuits their private genitalia area may be alsoexposed, which is because the material of the swimsuit is made of a verylight easy to dry fabric, so when it gets wet the material often sticksto the females' body parts, such as the legs and their genitalia. Thus,there is a need for a swimsuit where a woman's and a male's genitaliawill not be exposed when the person's swimsuit becomes wet.
